Power and Empire Chapter 1678: Dunjin Gangfei (5)
Just off the border, early morning
The sound of horseshoe tapping on the hard and cold ground is particularly clear in the silence and void, getting closer and closer. In the shadowy paleness, groups of black armored cavalry swept across the ground like a gust of wind, rolling up the ground. The broken soil is like a black tornado sweeping the earth,
Saron cautiously and slowly crossed this undulating hill, the black cavalry armor lined up in a fast-moving black long line, shining a dark luster under the golden brilliance of the sun,
"Everyone stop moving forward!"
Saron raised his right hand high, and the cavalry guards behind him strangled their horses in the hills, and countless cavalry spears with blood stains drooped down neatly, flashing a terrifying brilliance like red sè, bursting into the plain. The wind passed through their queue, and the flame-like red tassels on the top of the guards’ helmets were blown neatly, like a bright red suddenly appeared, and the chill of killing spread in the wind, and it was in the hills. Below, the marching queue formed by the remnants of the Gang and Fei army is like a long winding snake completely exposed to the front
"There seems to be something wrong with the number of people!"
Saron's gaze swept across the queue of Gangfei, his eyebrows frowned slightly,
In his impression, although the Gangfei remnants suffered their own impact, they should still have more than 30,000 troops, but the marching queue in front of him is at most 15,000 people, but he also Just confused, I didn’t continue thinking about it,
After all, this is the collapse of the army. There are often scenes of collapses over the mountains and plains, and the hearts of the people are scattered. In addition, halfway through the abandonment of the wounded, it is normal for tens of thousands of troops to run away. Clean up, the main task is to get rid of the main force in front of you.
"Assault, defeat them!" Without any hesitation, Saraon pulled out the two sabers behind him and tracked them all night, just to attack in the early morning, which is when people are most exhausted. What's more, these desperate, hungry and thirsty gangsters,
"Attention, the enemy's cavalry!" The Gang Feiren in the distance was advancing towards the border, and he found the guard cavalry on his side, and he suddenly panicked.
"Don't mess up, move closer." Lanmia looked at the black cavalry overwhelming in the distance, but there was a rare trace of calmness on his face. After running away overnight, he finally attracted the enemy's cavalry. . He is divided into two groups. There is always a way to sacrifice, and there is always a way to go back safely. There is a chance to choose one of the two. There is nothing to complain about!
"Ready to fight!" The Gangfei officer shouted loudly and drove the soldiers out.
Thick clouds still shroud the sky, isolating the sun from the earth far away. At the place where the clouds and the clouds were combined, there was still a little bright beam of light falling. It casts on the armor of all the cavalry, exuding a bright and dazzling brilliance, one side is the thick shadow of the falcon guard cavalry,
On one side is the shiny armor of Gangfei soldiers. Bright and dark, Yin and Qing, the conflicting sècai on the battlefield are like a contrasting oil painting. The number of heavy infantry soldiers at the forefront is only a few hundred. But the combat power is very strong. With the heavy shield in his hand, he firmly resisted the horse head pushed by the guards.
"Protect adults"
The captain of the guard drew out the silver sword. Blocking in front of Lanmia, the black cavalry like a sea crash, with a swift aura, slammed into the crowd, slapped, a violent collision, like a hurricane swept in, flesh and blood flying.
"Kill!"
The infantry's long spears pierced the horses neatly, and the horses screamed fiercely, but the trend continued. The heavy horses smashed down like a huge hammer, splitting the soldiers in front of them like waves. This moment , The cavalry group of black sè, drowned everything blocking,
The earth was trembling, and the soldiers wailed and were hit and hacked to death. The blood flew shè, and fled all night. The soldiers had already exhausted their physical strength and were already unable to resist the slaughter. The guard cavalry had no effort to resist the massacre. Defeated the infantry,
"Quickly, protect the lord to leave." Lanmia fought and retreated under the guard of a hundred guards. The guards shook hands with the shield in the middle, tightly protecting Lanmia in the middle, fighting and retreating in the chaotic crowd. People were constantly being chopped down to the ground by the cavalry rushing by, but immediately someone filled the gap.
"Leave me alone, the target of the opposing cavalry is me. Run for your life. If you can, run away!" Lanmia commanded loudly with the help of a guard. He knew it would be futile. Yes, short-term blocking will not change the overall situation. The general armor on his body is also the most conspicuous target, because there are human shields composed of personal guards around him. The javelin knight’s guard cavalry violently threw the lancet in his hand at him from 20 meters away, and a cold light passed through the human shield composed of guards.
The tip of the gun expanded rapidly in front of Lanmia's eyes, and it was cold and cold
"Is it dying at last?" Lanmia didn't choose to dodge, and even forgot to dodge. He closed his eyes between the flashing lights,
"Slap" a sharp pain came from his shoulder. He heard the sound of his bones being broken, and then his whole body flew out heavily. His whole body was sore. The bright red blood directly blurred his retina, and the spear pierced him. Lanmia felt that his life was disappearing quickly, and the path full of purple red chrysanthemums in the garden of his home could not help appearing in his mind, and he was waiting for his daughter at the end of the path. At this moment, he I am full of nostalgic homesickness, I miss the paths I walked in my childhood, I miss the big tree where I record the height for my daughter every year, and I miss the big tree that was engraved with traces, I miss the cool and proud when I first triumphed,
"The winner will never know the mood of the loser!"
Lamiya vomited a mouthful of blood, mixed with broken internal organs, and a wry smile appeared at the corners of the **** mouth. His eyes were dilated, his body fell to the sky, the phantom receded, and the real situation reflected in his **** eyes, no No garden, there is no little daughter I love most, here is a fierce battlefield,
The enemy's cavalry were everywhere. He saw the head of a guard flying in the air, and the blood column sprayed out from the headless body. The corpse was still running forward, fierce melee and fighting, the cold light of the weapons on both sides. Constantly bringing blood light, the heavy horse with a violent whistling sound rolled away from the front of the entire queue
"My lord!" A guard rushed over, covered in blood, and was immediately stabbed in the chest by a galloping black armored cavalry, and the whole person was picked up by the stabbing gun. A mouthful of blood exploded from this young man’s mouth, and a young life just disappeared,
In obscurity, Lanmia didn’t even know the name of this young guard
"Linger! Everything is up to you!" Lanmia summoned her last strength and called a person's name with a weak voice that she could only hear. The voice just fell, countless arrow clusters He came from the opposite side, and the last few guards who insisted were fallen down, and the corpses were trampled under the horse's hooves and rolled. The red blood turned the soil under the horse's hoof into blood plasma," slap "The last picture of Lanmia is the red and white cross of the Gangfei war flag with a blue background being cut off in mid-air, like a kite with a cut line. Rolling in the air and falling down.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
This is a quiet afternoon drifting with autumn shadows, and sentries lazily parade at the entrance of the camp.
In the soft wind, the fragrance of autumn wormwood and unburned wheat stalks is blowing. On the left side of the valley is a flat field with piles of haystacks. The golden wheat stalks exude a lazy luster in the sun, and the wild flowers of various colors bloom in a large area of light and shadow, looking from a distance, it is like a garden of earth.
In this light and shadow, a group of soldiers are training in the autumn sunshine. This is the station of the 7th Infantry Regiment of the Border Guard. This time the border guards came out in full force, and only the 7th Infantry Regiment was recruited in May to make up for the defeat in the Southwest. So I didn’t participate in the battle to enter the border
A small dilapidated castle stands tall, with only half a circle left behind the collapsed wall, and several peripheral sentries are leaning against the wall,
"Captain, do you say that you can make it to the Southwest this time?" A recruit looked at his fellow training in the distance and asked curiously. "I heard that the Southwest was still our Gangfei vassal country, but it was the Gauls. The despicable stealing made it so that Southwesterners no longer think they are just inhuman! I don’t know if such a rumor is true! If it is, Southwesterners are too ignorant, and even their ancestors don’t recognize them. , And help the Gauls against us!"
"There is indeed such a rumor, but it was also many years ago." The voice was the middle-aged officer leaning on the wall on the left. He was lazily basking in the sun above his head, his eyes were bright and his mouth corners. He crooked his mouth in disdain. "Who will remember what happened so long, even those of us who are said to have migrated from the southwest region have long forgotten the breath of our hometown. The empire just used this as an excuse to send troops to the southwest. That's it, but I heard that if the march goes well this time, the army will almost occupy the entire border. If nothing happens, it might be able to invade the southwest again! At that time...
"May I ask if Captain Siya is there?" A questioning voice came from below the guard tower. An officer raised his head and looked up, his face was a little pale and looked a little weak
"Master Ringer, what are you...?" The veteran hurriedly put out his face with a smile on his face. He knew the young officer, Ringer, the deputy of the 7th Infantry Regiment Commander Ocard, because The army suffered an unknown illness before leaving and did not go with the army, but some people said in private that the adjutant Ringer did not go out not only for physical reasons, but also opposed the legionnaire’s decision to dispatch troops in the parliament.
"Captain Siya, the news from the Legion Department has been interrupted for 2 days. This is a bit abnormal. I want to go to the border to take a look! But I am not familiar with the border." Ringer said cautiously, "You are The veterans in the scout, they said, on this border, you can walk back and forth even with your eyes closed. Can you accompany me on a trip?"
"This...I can't leave without a superior's order!" The embarrassed **** sè appeared on Siya’s face,
"The order can be made up. Just walk with me and I will give ten gold coins as reward!" Ringer sneered. Although he was recuperating, he was also a restricted person. He had no objection. The commander of the legionary commanded to attack, but he did another thing that made the legionary commander furious. He made the little daughter of the legionary commander Lanmia bigger. Although the customs of men and women in the empire are relatively open, they have always regarded fame as As far as Lanmia of life is concerned, it is a very serious matter. He was going to marry his old friend. This time, he slapped his face severely.
Suddenly, a small voice came, and another sentry came up from below the tower and asked, "Did you hear anything? I saw my soup pot trembling!"
"You are allergic! In this kind of weather, even rats won't look at your pot. They have wheat stalks. How could someone come?" The voice just fell. Even the dullest person can feel the ground shaking slightly,
There is a deep muffled thunder in the distance, like the earth's cracking,
This. Seems. . . . . "The veteran Siya's face changed slightly, and he quickly bounced off the ground like a rabbit with his tail stepped on. This familiar fluctuation has already deeply entered the bone marrow and soul of an veteran. Murphy's Dragon Cavalry Before the launch, it was this feeling. Didn’t it mean that Murphy’s dragoons had already left the southwest?’
He stuck his head out of the sentry tower in confusion, and looked into the distance. The body shape suddenly stiffened,
At the end of the earth, thunderous echoes rolled in. On the gray horizon between the sky and the earth, a black blood line leaped out like a red line, and this black line leaped out at an astonishing speed. It spread and quickly turned into black spots, and the eye-catching golden battle flag pierced the sentry’s eyes like a needle.
"Attack!"
The cavalry group swooped down like goshawks from the high **** outside the camp. With the rumbling of hoofs, thousands of prairie cavalry leaped down, and the mighty surging force was like a landslide. "Jǐng report! The enemy is coming!" The screaming screams tore through the peace and tranquility, and the black sè gallops like cháo water. And pass. The sound of the jǐng report from a distance caused the recruits who were training to be taken aback. Everyone turned their heads and looked at the screaming guard tower curiously, and the officer God who led the training shouted angrily. Because of the low terrain, they could not see the large numbers of enemies coming from a distance.
Until the slightly trembling ground turned into a violent vibration, countless black lights and shadows swept from the heights in the roar of the earth. In the autumn sun, the prairie cavalry suddenly jumped over a trench, like a scarlet black "Clouds of blood" surged over the perimeter defensive line of the camp,
Kill! "The voice cracked the sky, and the overwhelming group of cavalry jumped into the low hardness of the terrain like a madman. The sharp machete cut through the harsh cold light, and plunged deeply into the group of recruits who only wore thin chain armor, destroying the ashes. It's unstoppable, and the iron torrent has rolled up a sea of red blood,
Three days later,
The sunlight in the autumn curtain is the same as before, revealing a mature warmth. The sun shines on the river surface, sparkling, this is a mountainous area within the border between Congo and Africa
The withered and yellow elm pine forest is like a huge meadow. What you see is another beautiful scenery that is different from the barren atmosphere of the northern European Barrow. The curves of the mountains and rivers are softer, and a euphemistic and mirror-like river is slowly moving. The plain passes through, the reeds by the river, and the leaves hanging on the water swirling under the water like little hands,
The bifurcated river channel extends from here to the surrounding land. The trees next to it are a bit withered, but the trunk lines are well-defined. The small villages are reflected in the river. Behind the river are steep rocks, endless mountains and forests. , The castle, and then the plain, a blue bird cruising in the air made a call in the air
As the Eastern Cavalry entered the territory of Gangfei, some news came back, leading the sharpest imperial guard cavalry to chase after the almost disintegrated Gangfei remnant Salong, unexpectedly something went wrong, according to reports The news came back that the remnants of Gangfei were not completely annihilated before crossing the border. The remnants were divided into two groups halfway, one was used as a decoy, and the other took the opportunity to withdraw to the territory of Gangfei.
This led to the fact that in the case of Gangfei, the news that the 100,000 border guards were almost wiped out was the first time. This was a fatal mistake in strategy!
Because of the news in advance, the Congolese and African sides decisively abandon most of the border areas with insufficient troops, and the limited force is concentrated on a few regional nodes. The prairie cavalry is good at surprise attacks, but not good at siege. Because they can’t break through the node, they can only withdraw after looting,
The steppe cavalry finally stopped advancing, waiting for follow-up by the rear infantry regiment,
It was originally an unexpected large-scale raid. After such a delay, it has become an upright frontal offensive. After a painful respite, Gang Fei quickly mobilized two legions behind the border to block the access to the hinterland. , The two armies immediately fell into a confrontation phase
The fat man bent down and picked up a handful of water from the flowing river in front of his eyes~IndoMTL.com~ He lowered his head and took a sip, feeling the coolness of his throat, and feeling that the pores all over his body opened comfortably.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates are not doing well, which has caused the war to stop, so I ask for punishment!"
Saron, Governor of the Southwest, holding a helmet in his right hand, knelt on one knee with a face of shame on the beach ten meters behind the fat man,
Blood-stained knees knelt on the sleek, hard beach rocks, Sarah looked remorseful, hundreds of black armored guards were nearby, but no one dared to speak, everyone's eyes were strayed intentionally or unintentionally. ,
"The arrogant soldier will be defeated, I should have thought of it!"
After ten minutes, the fat man sighed deeply, took the towel from the guard next to him, wiped his face, and snorted in his nose
"From the northwest coast to Rusty, you followed me and swept the 300,000 Gallic army. I am afraid that you are also full of arrogance. If you have this defeat, otherwise you really think that this world is The Falcon Army is number one in the world! Capital crimes are unavoidable, and living crimes are inevitable. Since it is your tail left, you can pick it up by yourself. The suppression of Gang Fei will stop here. If you go deeper, it will be a full-scale war. Now, as the messenger of the empire, take a trip to Gang Fei! "(To be continued...)
